No, 4 spaces is good. If you changed it to 8 spaces now, and opened MUGLE, your eyes would probably fall out of your head. I'm not talking about the "each tab shows as X spaces" rule, but the "automatically convert tabs into X spaces" rule -- these are usually two different rules in a text editor. One keeps tabs, but shows them with a certain width; the other actually replaces tabs with spaces.

I don't have Eclipse installed on this machine so I can't see exactly what settings to use, but there must be a way to tell it to convert all tabs to spaces. So I'm OK in installing that plugin. Also, is there a max length per line > you want us to use? To be honest, I usually don't check the max length, so > if we are to adhere to this, can we have a proper max character length or > something like 80? > I usually use 78, but I don't care about it nearly as much as the tabs issue. MUGLE has quite a few very long lines, but I'm happy to live with them, which is why I just set it to a warning. You can just take that rule out of the file.
